You forgot:
Sydney will cry.
Dixon and/or Sydney will tell Sloane how disgusted they are w/ him and they don't trust him for one second...
Jack Bristow will make Jack Bauer look like a chicken-shit bastard.

Is anyone else angry they wrapped up the Sloan Clone? That was by far the most interesting idea they've had since Sydney's lost years, and they just blew it. His interrogation scene last week opened up all kinds of story ideas (how do we know Sloan isn't the Sloan Clone?), and then they just dumped it.

I have been so disappointed in this season that I believe I'm going to sell the past three seasons that i own on dvd. Its just ruined the entire series. So dull and predictable.

Love the comms line.
Like how they brought the Covenant back into things - they have hardly mentioned anything from last season - it was getting kind of annoying.
This show has definitely kicked ass lately.

I enjoyed both episodes. The comms line and Marshall's face right after that were great.
Lena Olin is still a top flight MILF, her reaction when she realizes who Nadia is was great

OUTRAGEOUS KICKA$$ EPISODE!! (or episodes)
Damn you Mr. Abrams! Just when I was about to give up, you reel me back in! Now I'm angry that ABC is moving this to Thursdays.
Angela Bassett, Isabella Rossellini, Sonia Braga, and Lena Olin - "Alias" can attract these great actresses and LOST can only muster an invisible "monster" and a cloud of black smoke?
-- Superb acting from the cast. Loved the glances/exchanges between Jack and Irina.
-- If only Elena shot pretty boy Vaughn and not Dixon. He is definitely the weakest link.
From the previews:
ALIAS is back!!

Finally saw the episode and this series has been on a roll. They may have started out slow but the writers have managed to crank out some good ones lately. I like how we're seeing references to previous seasons with more Mueller device, Elena running the Covenant, and the helix experiment. The comms line was hilarious and of course Irina slugging Jack was pretty priceless.

I liked the part where they were going through their rooms & Sidney had all of the weapons. My sister & I were discussing the ep & were kind of surprised about a 2 hour show that wasn't a season finale.

Those were great episodes, but it sucks that it took so long for Alias to find its feet after that shitty beginning to the season.

Which is fine by me, especially if we get another "red/black" type of moment......
